Been detecting for 33 years. I have not found a detector that can keep up with my X5 here at my location.
I saw the NIB Shadow you are talking about, or one like it. If not for the two I already own, I would not hesitate.

I've seen them in action around my hunting spot and have been impressed...

No idea what a value might be.
